    I've been in the investment business for nearly 30 years and have been on both sides (working for a Wall Street firm, then becoming a fee-only registered investment advisor) and have had the same "epiphany" about investing that Henry apparently has had. I was shocked when I started reading his book. It was not what I expected and it says exactly what I would say if I took the time to write one. If you are ready to stop listening to Wall Street and the financial media and are ready to start investing intelligently, THIS is the book to read.

    The very best book on investing. Explains why you're a laughed-at idiot if you try to complete with the pros, rips apart any strategy you may have other than index investing. Properly titled book, explains how to keep yourself from being fleeced by an industry designed to fleece you. I read this book when it was first published 10 years ago or whatever, made significant changes, and my net worth really took off, from a few hundred thousand dollars to 1.2 million now, and I swear to god I owe it all to Henry Blodget.

    This is a quick read and most of the advice is sound but has appeard before. His style is sharp and to the point, so it is probably a good read for a neophyte investor.

    Although the author's recommendation to get a diversified portfolio and leave it alone sounds simple, there is LOTS of wisdom buried here. The hardest part (like anything else good for you) is doing it: you have to make yourself ignore all those inner demons who urge you to roll the dice just one more time. One way to get started is by allocating say 40% of your portfolio to this approach, waiting a couple years, then comparing the results of your genius stock picking to Blodgett's diversified portfolio. Your reviewer did, and he just converted the other 60% of his portfolio to Henry's approach. Try it, you'll like it. Then spend some time perfecting your smug smile in the mirror so that when your friends start talking about all their genius stock picks, you can flash the smile and say "Well, I'm pretty satisfied with my portfolio."

    If you already know a fair amount about passive index fund investing, you aren't going to find any new information in this book. With that being said, this book is perfect for someone who still relatively new to investing or thinks that they are somehow going to beat the market. Blodget lays out a series of common pitfalls that amateur investors face and provides simple examples for each situation. In some respects "The Wall Street Self-defense Manual" does seem a little too simplistic and reads like an extended Slate colum. What sacrifices are made in terms of informational density are largely made up for in clarity and simplicity. I'll definitely lend this book out to friends and family now that I am done. Ideally I will be able to convince my dad to rework his portfolio after he reads this. If I can get him to do that, then Blodget will have more than redeemed himself as far as I am concerned.

    The book gives much common sense to investing. It's a great antidote to many of the other books. Key concepts: Don't try to beat the market; looking at the fees on mutual funds; rebalancing your your portfolio, start investing for retirement--the earlier the better, settle with lower earnings expectations.
